About the Improv Comedy Club & Dinner Theatre
The Improv Comedy Club & Dinner Theatre is a good destination when seeking a nice laugh over dinner. It was established over 40 years ago featuring mostly local comedians. Through the years nationally recognized improv comedians such as Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, and Drew Carey have performed here. Unlike some comedy clubs, this one is small enough that it feels comfortable without being too cramped or alternatively expansive. Show prices vary according to the talent, but are commonly priced around $25.
Your meal is not included in your dinner show ticket. Various appetizers, sandwiches, entrees, desserts and beverages are offered at an additional cost. Note: The theatre automatically includes an 18% gratuity to your dinner ticket. In the dim lights, you might miss it on your bill, even though they try to be obvious about the charge. The wait staff works hard and is careful not to interrupt the show, so they earn the tip.
The Orlando Improv Comedy Club & Dinner Theatre is located at 9101 International Dr., Orlando, FL 32819. The entrance to the club is a little unusual. You enter through a restaurant that is owned by the club.
Add Comedy to Your Weekend Plans
This weekend, schedule your entertainment around Capone’s Dinner & Show and the Orlando Improv Comedy Club & Dinner Theatre. Capone’s offers a show at 7:30 p.m. each night.
